There has actually been some speculation that Newcastle United could target Kane as one of their first big signings of the PIF era. Comparisons have been drawn with Alan Shearer.

48'

Kane endured a difficult international break. He was hooked by Gareth Southgate with 15 minutes left to play against Hungary with the scoreline tied at 1-1. Kane is out of form, but has shown glimpses of his old self here!

47'

46'

What sort of second half will we see? Newcastle United started well, but Spurs soon took a grip of the match. Is there any way back from the Magpies? They trail 3-1.

45'

The second half is under way! Tottenham Hotspur have a 3-1 lead over Newcastle United in this Premier League fixture.

End of 1st Half

45+8'

HALF TIME: Newcastle United 1-3 Tottenham Hotspur. A protracted first half comes to an end at St James' Park. It started so well for the Magpies, but Spurs have dominated on balance.

45+7'

Chance for Saint-Maximin! The Newcastle United winger cuts inside on to his right foot off the left wing, but his shot flashes wide of the post when he should have hit the target.

45+6'

There have been signs of the Kane-Son partnership being back to its best this evening. That could be a game changer for Tottenham. That could help them turn things around.

45+5'

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Newcastle United 1 Tottenham Hotspur 3 (45+5 mins - Son Heung-min). Spurs have scored a third! A great passing move involving Moura and Ndombele saw Kane threaded in behind and the Tottenham striker got his head up to square the ball to Son who had the simple finish.

Play has resumed! Ok, so the match is back under way at St James' Park. There's a strange atmosphere, understandably so, after that stoppage, but the players have to focus on the game again.

45+2'

There will be seven minutes of stoppage time played at the end of the first half.

17:30

Supporter has been stabilised! Good news from St James' Park as it is now being reported that the fan in the stand has now been stabilised. The players are out to warm up ahead of a restart.

45+1'

The players are now being taken into the dressing rooms.

42'

MATCH SUSPENDED! There's no play taking place at the moment while the medical staff provide treatment to the fan in the stands. A lot of concern around St James' Park.

41'

Medical emergency! There's an incident in the stands taking place and so play on the pitch has stopped. It looks like the referee is going to take the players into the tunnel for the time being.

40'

It feels like Newcastle United need the half time interval here. They started the match very well, but Tottenham have taken a grip of things. Bruce surely needs to make some changes.

39'

Off the crossbar! Inches away from being a third goal for Tottenham! The corner kick delivery from Son was a good one, Moura got up higher than anyone else, but his header comes off the woodwork!

38'

Saint-Maximin gives Newcastle United great threat on the rapid counter attack. The French winger has so much pace, but is also one of the best dribblers in the Premier League.

37'

This is a bit better from Newcastle United. Tottenham Hotspur had taken a grip of the game after scoring the second goal, but the hosts are finding more space on the counter.
